“So, all we have to do according to the instructions the president sent, is catch some ability users, then we’ll be done!” Atsushi says as pleasantly as possible considering his situation. Being sent on a mission with his rival and the most annoying yet powerful duo was not on his list of to-do’s.
“Frankly I don’t see why I’m here.” Speak of the devil.
Akutagawa walks over to the white haired boy from his spot.
“You're here for moral support moral support” Akutagawa rolls his eyes at that answer, clearly not thinking it was reason enough. “Besides…you would leave me here with…” Atsushi gestures slightly to a duo who’s probably fighting about something stupid.
”Chuuyaaaaaa!!! Why can’t we go watch it!!” Dazai groans while leaning on the shorter man’s back.
“Because we can watch it at home, dumbass!” Chuuya tries to free himself from under Dazai but fails, much to Dazai’s delight. “What reason do we have to go all the way to the movies?!”
“Are you calling Mr. Dazai and Mr. Chuuya’s relationship annoying?” Akutagawa turns back to his rival.
”O-if course not! But, you know..they’re just very…” Akutagawa violently opens his eyes wider as if to urge him on since raising an eyebrow was not an option.
“Well?”
”They’re just very them. I don’t really have another way of describing it.” Atsushi say’s trying not to sound disrespectful.
”’them’? I personally still think you’re attacking Mr. Dazai and Mr. Chuuya for their incompetence.”
Atsushi raises an eyebrow “so I’m not the only one who thinks they’re being incompetent right now?”
The ravenette looks away without saying anything else.
”you're useless.” he sighs “Dazai! Have you been listening to anything I’ve been saying?!”
”Atsushi, why would I be listening when I have much more important matters to take care of at the moment”
”More important my ass. Jinko he’s lying, he’s just looking up movies coming out this week.”
”I mean your ass is pretty import-“ before Dazai can finish his comment Chuuya covers his partner’s mouth. Chuuya can feel the smirk growing on the brunettes face. “-Chuuya won’t let me see the movies Atsushi!! Isn’t that just mean!!” Dazai whines under the hand on his mouth. Chuuya can practically hear Dazai’s thoughts about how dirty this scene looks.
Atsushi looks confused, which frankly, is better than surprised because that would’ve mean he found out. “Okay? I guess. Also Chuuya can you not call me Ji-“
”Jinko please continue with what we’re supposed to do.” Akutagawa stifles a laugh at that.
a sigh escapes Atsushi’s mouth before he starts talking again.
”As I was saying…we have to-“ he pauses as if he’s come to a realization of something. “Wait, Dazai,” he turns to his mentor, “why do you need Chuuya’s permission to go see a movie? It’s not like he’s your dad?”
”I mean you can call him Fath-“ Chuuya smacks him before he can get the rest out. “Because Chuuya would be paying dear Atsushi!!”
”Yeah and I’m not wasting my money on that, Mackerel”
“Is Mr. Executive going cheap?”
“We are going to catch some ability users. You hear that Dazai?” Atsushi asks, clearly loosing patience.
”Atsushiiii” Dazai groans “Can you not see I’m arguing with Chuuya right now about how he should be letting me go see a movie? So unless you are going to help me, it would be appreciated if you did not interrupt.”
“See what I mean Akutagawa?”
"Don’t drag me into this, Weretiger. I think they’re being perfectly normal”
“Akutagawa my name is Ats- wait, did you say at home?” Atsushi turns back to the duo. “You live together?”
“Of course we do!! You think I would sleep in those sorry excuse of dorms? Do you think someone as handsome as me could get like this from living there?” Dazai exclaims, brushing his hands over his face.
”I mean..your skin is extremely clear..but so is mine”
“Yeah okay but that’s besides the point!!” Dazai groans. “Chuuya won’t let me go see a movie”
”You don’t need his permission, Dazai.” Atsushi repeats with growing annoyance.
“Are you questioning Mr. Dazai right now?” Akutagawa snaps.
”No, shut up, Akutagawa”
”FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME,” Chuuya states rather loudly “I’m not taking you to movies because we can just watch it home!”
“Boo! Chuuya’s such a party pooper!! Why must you be this way, poor doggie?”
“YOU SHITTY-“ Chuuya lunges at the brunette.
”Wait, why do you live together exactly?”
“It’s surprising right? Who would wanna live with this stupid Mackerel”
“Chuuya! I’m offended! That’s no way to treat your partner!” Dazai pouts, crossing his arms.
”You guys aren’t partners anymore though? I mean I guess right now you are but Dazai wouldn’t move in for just today and then leave?” Atsushi questions.
”Oh yes he woul-“ Chuuya lets out a grumble before Dazai cuts him off.
”Oh Atsushi, Chibi and I never stopped being partners!! We’ve lived together for years!!!”
“Even when they were a threat?!” The boy squeals.
”But of course~”
“How did you do missions together when our organizations were fighting?” Akutagawa interjects.
There isn’t even a proper reply from them, they just giggle. The sort of giggle a teenage girl makes when she’s gossiping. Dazai and Chuuya do have their moments when they act like children. This makes Atsushi even more confused.
“Also I’m pretty sure partners don’t live together…”
Dazai simply laughs a bit more before turning away from his partner to look at Atsushi “C’mon Atsushi!! Use that furry little brain of yours and think a little harder~”
Furry head? Is that an insult?
“Think, kid” that was Chuuya’s voice..
Let’s see, why could Dazai be implying? They never stopped being partners after Dazai left the mafia, Chuuya paying for Dazai’s movie, living together…
oh
“Oh my god”
The physical touch too? When Dazai was around the Port Mafia Executive, sure Chuuya was annoyed but anyone else would have been dead, right then and there.
”Are you two dating?!?”
”Married actually~”
Akutagawa watches Atsushi and Dazai from the side. “It kind of makes sense. I knew you guys were together in the Mafia but I just didn’t think it continued on.”
“Uh huh, I wish it didn’t.”
“Chuuya! So mean!”
“I’m warning them, asshole. So they don’t make the same mistake.”
…
What
”Um, Chuuya, what do you mean by that?” Atsushi swallows hard.
“Guess, Weretiger”
Maybe Dazai was their biggest shipper, but who has to know that?
